The Los Angeles Chargers are sitting comfortably with a 6-2 record heading into their Week 10 matchup against the Oakland Raiders. Clicking on all cylinders, the Bolts have been one of the more consistent teams on the offensive side of the ball thanks to the dynamic passing of Philip Rivers and the successful ground and pound running game of Melvin Gordon.
The Chargers defense might not be perfect following a 25-19 victory over the Seattle Seahawks, but several positions have been thriving in recent weeks. Gus Bradley’s secondary took a hit early on this season with the season-ending loss of cornerback Jason Verrett to a torn Achilles, but thanks to the likes of Casey Heyward, Desmond King and potential Rookie of the Year Derwin James, they’ve managed to stay active in coverage.
